10 tips to save on your car hire in and around Bathgate

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle type and features. Whether you're in need of an SUV for additional space, a convertible for summer drives, or an economy car for budget-friendliness, utilise the filters on Expedia to identify the best option for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary based on demand, making it wise to secure your car well ahead of your trip. Booking in advance increases your chances of obtaining lower rates and ensures better availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles are typically more affordable to rent and easier to manoeuvre in busy areas. Mid-size rentals strike a good balance between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain vehicle types—such as SUVs or premium models—might not be accessible. This can also apply to renters over 70 years old. Always verify the age requirements prior to booking.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rentals operate on a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the vehicle with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is usually the most advantageous option. Others may offer full-to-empty or prepaid fuel options, which are acceptable as well. Just ensure that you return the car empty in this case.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: You may often incur a surcharge for picking up your rental car at airports, but this might be worthwhile for the added convenience.
  7. Know your payment options: Many car hire providers exclusively accept credit cards for payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car hire insurance can help you avoid unnecessary expenses and provides peace of mind in case of unexpected incidents during your trip. It's straightforward to add car hire insurance when booking through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you’re planning lengthy road trips, seek rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent incurring extra charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is essential for renting a car.

Frequently asked questions

How much is a rental car per day in Bathgate?
Get bang for your travel buck in Bathgate, with car hire prices within the past seven days starting from as little as £43 a day.
Can I hire a car from Edinburgh Airport (EDI)?
Yes, you can. After you've picked up your bags at Edinburgh Airport (EDI), you'll locate the rental car companies at the Rental Car Centre. Book the right ride with Sixt, Europcar or Avis. Budget and National are other suppliers worth looking at.
What happens if I need to cancel my Bathgate car reservation?
No need to stress. You should be eligible for a full refund if you notify us more than six hours ahead of picking up the car. Your itinerary contains details about this, and so does our Customer Service Portal. Not all reservations result in a refund though, so it's a good idea to scan the rental policy.

Not too small and not too big, compact cars are the top pick for many visiting motorists in Bathgate. Offering terrific fuel mileage and easy parking and manoeuvrability, they're well-suited to dashing around the city. A compact offers slightly more room than an economy vehicle, so you can travel around in a little more comfort and style. Want something bigger? Browse our standard, intermediate and full-size options.

With your own vehicle, adventuring around the surrounding regions is as easy as putting your foot on the accelerator.

What do you need to hire a car in Bathgate?
Generally, you'll need a driver's license and credit card in your name when picking up your car. You may also need proof of coverage if you'd prefer to opt out of the company's insurance policy. These requirements often differ between providers, so it's wise to check in advance.
